Student Artists Wanted for Water Conservation Poster Contest

Students in grades K-12 are encouraged to create a poster depicting a water-saving idea, in either slogan form, drawing form, or both.

A twenty-five-dollar cash prize will be awarded to the county-wide first place winners in each of the five divisions. In addition, a fifty-dollar cash prize will be awarded to each division winner’s school to be used for art supplies, as well as a plaque displaying the winning artwork.
